Why enter our Challenge?

Why
enter a challenge?

Challenges are fun!They’re a great way to get to know
other bloggers and crafters who share your taste in stamps.

Challenges are good for you and help to develop your creative muscles by
getting you to work within some kind of limitations.Facing unlimited choice can actually restrict creativity as
you just don’t know where to begin or more often, when to stop.

Creating something that you are pleased
with gives you a sense of achievement and pride.When you share it with others, that feeling is reflected
back at you.

Even if you’re not entirely happy with your
creation, other people will admire you for having a go, and what you consider
not so great is often someone else’s idea of perfection anyway.

Hi Margaret, that's right, we want to give you the freedom to use what you have in your stash. So, just pick what you have that is close to those colours. It can be paints, inks, pencils, whatever medium you like. Just enjoy yourself and have fun creating something, Judith xx

That's a really good idea to limit what can be used as it simplifys the whole thing and start you thinking. I often go into my craft room and come out achieving nothing as I can't decide where to start. I am going to have a go at this, have never done put anything on social media (not quite sure how to be honest!) but I'm going to have a go! Thanks CB for helping me to focus...x
